Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. An entry in the work breakdown structure that can be at any level






2. Condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system - product - service result or component to satisfy a contract - standard - specification or other formally imposed document.






3. The formally documented identification of a defect in a project component with a recommendation to either repair the defect or completely replace the component






4. Identifying quality requirements and/or standards for the project and product and documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance






5. Structure in which the project manager has full authority to assign priorities - apply resources and direct the work of persons assigned to the project






6. The process of managing procurement relationships - monitoring contract performance - and making changes and corrections as needed






7. Point in time that work was scheduled to start on a schedule activity. called planned start date.






8. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






9. Group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level and displayed as a single activity at that summary level. same as summary activity.






10. Graphic display of cumulative costs - labor - hours - percentage of work or other quantities - plotted against time. used to depict planned value - earned value and active costs.






11. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning






12. System of practices - techniques - procedures and rules used by those who work in a discipline






13. Describes each component in the work breakdown structure (WBS). for each WBS component - the WBS dictionary includes a brief definition of the scope of statement of work - defined deliverables - a list of associated activities and list of milestones.






14. The latest possible point in time that a schedule activity maybe completed based upon schedule network logic - the completion date and any constraints assigned to the schedule activities without violating a schedule constraint or delaying the project






15. Documented direction to perform an activity that can reduce the probability of negative consequences associated with project risks






16. One or more numerical or text values that identify characteristics of the work or in some way categorize the schedule activity that allows filtering and ordering of activities within reports






17. Formally documented change request that is submitted for approval to the integrated change control process






18. An imperfection or deficiency in a project component where that component does not meet requirements or specifications and needs to be either repaired or replaced






19. A short unique numeric or text identification assigned to each schedule activity to differentiate that project activity from other project activities. typically unique within any one project schedule network diagram






20. Schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes or nodes. schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed






21. Change to project scope. almost always requires an adjustment to the project cost or schedule






22. List of project team members - their project roles and communication information






23. The process of obtaining seller responses - selecting a seller and awarding a contract






24. Subsystem of overall project management system. collection of formal documented procedures that defines how project work will be authorized to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time and in the proper sequence.






25. Schedule activity that has a low total float.






26. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






27. Bar chart showing the amount of time that a resource is scheduled to work over a series of time periods.






28. The statue - quality or sense of being restricted to a given course of action or inaction. an applicable restriction or limitation - either internal or external to a project - which will affect the performance of the project or a process.






29. Technique that computes or iterates the project cost or project schedule many times using input values selected at random from probability distributions of possible costs or durations - to calculate a distribution of total project costs or completion






30. Form of progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail at a low level of the work breakdown structure - while the work far in the future is planned at a relatively high level of the work break






31. Subdivision (fragment) of a project schedule network diagram - usually representing a subproject or work package.






32. Modification of a logical relationship that directs a delay in the successor activity. activity with a 10 day lag - cannot start until 10 days after an activity is finished






33. Examining or measuring to verify whether an activity - component - product - result of service conforms to specified requirements.






34. Developing a detailed description of the project and product






35. Budgeted cost of work performed






36. Document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organization resources to the project activities






37. Uncertain event or condition that has a positive or negative effect on projects objectives






38. Technique for estimating that applies a weighted average of optimistic - pessimistic and most likely estimates when there is uncertainty with the individual activity estimates






39. Requirements imposed by a government body. government mandated compliance






40. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






41. Any unique and verifiable product - result - or capability to perform a service that must be produced to complete a process - phase or project.






42. A collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled - changed and approved. in most application areas - the change control system is a subset of the configuration management system






43. Developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives






44. Slack - Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






45. A technique that explores the accuracy of assumptions and identifies risks to the project from inaccuracy - inconsistency - or incompleteness of assumptions






46. Type of procurement document whereby the buyer requests a potential seller to provide various pieces of information related to a product or service or seller capability






47. The person assigned by the performing organization to achieve the project objectives






48. Extending or generating parallel schedule network paths from the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by schedule activity with more than one successor activity






49. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






50. Collection of generally sequential project phases whose name and number are determined by the control needs of the organization involved in the project
